He had a falling out with Agnelli.
Don't think PSG want him due to his European record. I think the elite clubs want more attacking minded managers now.

Conte and Chelsea was a recipe for disaster. He and Abramovich didn't get on. He infamously sent a text to Diego Costa and basically told him he's not in his plans etc. Doubt we'll ever see that here.
He left Inter Milan because of financial issues. Again, nothing that's going to happen here.
I wouldn't worry myself over things that haven't happened. Conte seems happier here then I've ever seen him since he managed Juventus. Levy knows what he's got. Paratici and Conte are good friends and the players love him.
Conte is running out of clubs to manage, it's hard to see where he goes next seeing as most clubs want long term projects these days.
Spurs and Conte is actually a match made in heaven, we were desperate for him and seemingly not bothered about the long term plus we have 2 of our best players primed to win now. For him we're an underdog team not guaranteed to do well so if we flop then people will look at the club more than him and even if he wins a cup he comes out smelling of roses.

Levy doesn't have any excuse now, we have the financial means to back him and we have a DOF who know the transfer market.
Yes, but we have to win something He’s not a project manager. Or at least we will see when/if the contract decision is made
RM feel like a rather obv. exception....
PSG too if and when they eventually win the CL in the meantime.

Conte will be here for as long as Levy is happy to pay his massive salary.
Elite clubs dont like his style of play or his European record. We're the biggest club willing to employ him.
Only club I can see taking a punt on him is PSG but they wont pay him as much and he'll get sacked as soon as he gets knocked out of the CL. Might as well stay here.

I really don't see Madrid ever hiring Conte. PSG make little sense as well as their whole thing is 'Win the CL' which is the one competition Conte has been unimpressive in.
Its true though, we were terrible under Nuno and getting him did feel like a coup.S'funny....
Before he came here hiring him was seen as a coup. Yet now he's here and there's been a dip in the "he'll leave; waaah!" hysteria; he's only here cos no-one else wants him.
Goalposts like underpants, you lot!
However, I really dont see any team thats bigger than us going for him.
I’m pretty certain that Juventus and Inter, two of the three biggest clubs in Italy, would take him in a heartbeat.
Why not?
It's not like Ancelotti is some long term project brimming with modern high-press football.....
As I said: "if and when they eventually win the CL in the meantime."
In the immediate term', I agree.... Though it's not like 2 of their last 3 hires had big time CL pedigree.
So why all the "he'll be gone by xmas" hysteria then; if it's a straight choice between us or some mid-table outfit somewhere?
Other than Zidane, which managers actually have ‘CL winning pedigree’?
I don’t see them hiring Jose, Fergie or Heynckes anytime soon.

I just don't see it. He has a tendency to argue with the hierarchy (never tolerated at Madrid) and he plays a style which is pretty anti galactico. Ancelotti is a pragmatist, he seems to enjoy a good relationship with big stars, they'll play on the break in big games but otherwise players are allowed to express themselves more.
I think PSG would be more likely, even in the short term. They may think his lack of CL pedigree is more bad fortune than anything else.
Gotta laugh at PSG ditching Tuchel only for him to win the CL somewhere else within a few months.
(#ChavCunts obv.)
Ancelotti too, but they had and sacked him off as well.

He did walk away from both clubs though. Doesnt have a good relationship with Agnelli either.
I think he's in a much better position here and dont see him leaving. Which is good because I want him to stay here as long as possible.
Great post.
Just watched MOTD2 and Liverpool looked value for the win.
Haaland went close but didn't score.
But those figures are frightening.
I would be a lot more confident if his wife and daughter relocated to England. I believe they are both still in Italy after they moved back following his Chelsea stint.
I have an awful feeling that Conté and Juventus will eventually turn into a ‘I just can’t quit you’ romance.
